I've had a batch of these springs remade for the bedford i'm restoring. I believe it is the same part on canadian and US chev's.
It fits under the reverse trigger as shown in the picture below item 76. ![]() ![]() £18 for the spring and the rivet that needs to be removed, including postage to anywhere in europe. P.M. me for details. Last edited by John A. Rippingham; 03-12-12 at 22:49. |

It looks very much like the Chev one. They are often broken and would obviously be difficult to duplicate.. Good job, hope you sell a few to cover your costs. They were supplied as a spare part and I was lucky enough to score a few. Now, if only I could find them.

Thanks david, i need to sell a few to cover my costs, i had 100 made!!! It was the only way to get them at a reasonable price. Knowing my luck someone will have a box full of NOS!!!
We did have a sourse of them over here, but when i wanted one they had all gone. Would be handy to know if any other vehicles used them? If you recognise it please let me know. |

John.....how much do you need for 2 of them. I live in Vancouver Canada and I have no idea where Stockport is! UK....I'm assuming. And like Bob asks....do they fit a Chev? Post a price for all and we'll go from there. Cheers.....Robert

Some parts of the Bedford R series and Chevrolet CMP shift mechanisim shar part numbers. I was not able to match the part numbers for the spring shown (assuming it is R series) and the CMP equivalent. To help, the Chev CMP part number is 590388 "Spring, Gearshift ReverseLatch Finger Lever" and it is listed as fitting 8cwt to 60 cwt (including C60X). The same part number also fits commercial Chevrolet 4 speed transmissions 1929-1947 (at least 1947, maybe later - that is the end of my Master Parts book). Do you have the part number from your Bedford listing to confirm if it is the same part?
Google suggests NSN 5340-00-737-7036 may be equivalent. Apparently the spring was available from GM as late as 1967 (for $0.15) http://www.antechlabs.com/K0GFM/68Parts/Parts-Gp4.pdf One online vendor (at least) still lists the spring, but as "inquire for price and availability" so I suspect they are getting harder (or maybe impossible) to find in stock. |
